- Studs Eshelman: If you're gonna kill me, it'll only send me back to the same nothingness I came from, and you know all about that. Don't you, Preacher? Life and death don't matter. What we call life is just an exercise in absurdity. A long, boring joke.

- Don Berryman: This man was knocked out, and by the looks of things, not recently. And the rope burns on his wrist suggest to me that he was tied up. So, let's just for a moment pretend that you don't take me for a complete idiot. I just wonder. Why do you think you can get away with this?
- Amelia Davenport: Because while I do believe in the separation of church and state, that doesn't mean that the two can't share mutual interests from time to time.
